This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Good move. by baloo88

I was neutral on Zelalem's move to Rangers last year. Sure, he got playing time, but the competition in the second level in Scotland was just terrible. Rangers are a decent enough club historically, and they're probably on their way back to that level shortly, but their relegation a few years back really hurt their status as a feeder to the top leagues in Europe. I think he could have gotten just as much playing time against much better competition.

Now that Rangers are back in the top flight of Scotland, at least their competition will be comparable to some of the European second divisions. That seems like a good level for Hyndman to spend a year or so. At his age, after spending five years in Fulham's system, he needs nothing more than game time against decent competition. Rangers are in no danger of relegation, so I imagine he'll get plenty of chances. He wasn't getting any time at Bournemouth, and he's probably not up to the Premier League standard. A bit more seasoning might bring him up to that level. Sitting on the bench at his age almost certainly won't.
